I loved that damn foot. It just brought up a whole new batch of questions.
I’m absolutely positive Locke is not dead.
How do I know?
Because we never saw the flashback where he loses the ability to walk…

I thought Libby wouldn’t die because we never figured out her story and yet here we are.

Yeppers. For me, the huge foot plus the wrecked pirate ship plus the conversation Rose had with the psychic healer (flashback) plus this elucidation in the finale that the island has some unusual geomagnetic property leads me to think that this island will end up being some type of quasi-Atlantis. It will end up being some place which ancient peoples believed to have magical powers and which modern science has shown to contain geomagnetic abnormalities which can be harnessed to achieve XYZ. Magnetic healing is a long-lived legend that people still follow today, so perhaps the Hanso Foundation wanted to see if it was true?
No idea on the pearl though. It seems to me if the observers were actually the observed, wouldn’t it be valuable to keep their notepads and see if they were really doing their jobs, etc? Otherwise, why have it at all?
I don’t think any of the main characters were killed in the hatch. We always get long, drawn out sequences when they buy the farm. “Tailies” not so much (Libby, Ana Lucia, etc).
I’ll let you guys talk about all the possibilities for season three. But I will just add this:
I love this show. Admittedly, this season there were some weak moments, and it had us all questioning whether we should continue on. But seriously, I would sit through another dozen Charlie/Bernard/Rose episodes, for another finale that is as awesome as that one was.
Too dramatic? Anyway, fucking awesome finale. Pumped for season three… just in case there was any doubt.
Yeah, the local paper had a story quoting some Lost staffers that they killed her off, not because of the DUI, but because they had no further story to tell about her.
My thought was BS, you never told her story,semi-romance with Hurley does not count…
Dude, I love this show too, but if they pulled another dozen Charlie/Bernard/Rose episodes out of their asses I think I’d have to fly to Hawaii and beat the writers with Eko’s Jesus stick. =)
That said, ABC has confirmed that Season 3 of LOST will run in two blocks of consecutively running episodes. We’re supposed to get 7 or 8 new episodes in the fall, followed by a break in which they will show a new series instead of LOST repeats, then the rest of season 3 with no repeats or skip weeks. If that’s true, it would make a crappy episode a lot easier to swallow knowing a good one was only 7 days away.
She also had an offer (and a pilot that was shot, not picked up) so they were letting her go for that opportunity as well.
Me, I’m just glad that fucking button is out of the picture now (barring flashbacks). As a season-long plot device I found it compelling, but if it had dragged on into season 3 I’d have felt insulted.
I mean… duh? Some guy pushes the button for 3 years and he’s not getting rescued. If getting off the island is my objective, then fuck the button.
Having lived through the season 1 to 2 hiatus, I know better than to theorize about season 3. It’ll come when it comes and I’m sure the events will be unexpected and unexpectable. Trying to guess what is going to happen next on Lost is a sucker’s game, since the show is specifically designed around withholding key information. Without fuel, the engine of deduction is doomed to stall out.
I think pretty clearly we’re going to start seeing some intrusion by the real world on our little island.
The bad news is that means we probably haven’t seen the last of Michael.
I’m really hoping that we get some fundamental changes in the show’s situation this year. Genuine realignments of the characters and some real sides choosing once the stakes start to become clear.

Seriously, was the actor playing Michael the worst actor ever or what?
I don’t think he was a bad actor. Just that this season all the writers had him do was yell “I gotta get my boy back!”
The actor–Harold Perrineau–had nothing to work with, yeah. Man, you could have made a drinking game out of his 2 or 3 lines repeated ad nauseum this season.
But this same actor ruled in Oz. His pre- and post- episode monologues were riveting, as was his work within each episode.
Still, I’ll be happy if they let Michael and Walt ride off into the sunset. Cuz, yeah, the Michael character pretty much sucked ass.

So were the Others just completely unfazed by the final electro-magnetic event or what? I mean yeah they had buzzing ears and saw the light, but it didn’t seem to surprise or bother them at all afterwards. Is this some Matrix bullshit that resets itself every decade or so?
If the big Xs over a few of the other bunkers in the big blast-door diagram are any indication, large-scale explosions/events like this have happened before.

Why you guys so anti-Michael?
I thought he was a fairly decent tragic character.
He is an underdog back home (uneducated construction worker) who gets screwed by his wife by cheating on him. Then he gets cock-blocked by the new man in his ex-wife’s life by taking Walt away from him.
When he finally gets Walt he is on a deserted island and Walt then tells him he hates him.
Then, to top it all off, strangers kidnap Walt from him!
You would be screaming “WAAAALLLLLTTTTTT” too if that happened to you. Or “GIIIVVVEE MEEE MYYY CRAAAAACK!!!”

Why would you see a bright light with an EM pulse?
I am pretty certain human eyes don’t detect it…
Totally–I agree. I love that actor, and I thought the storyline itself for him was good. It was just the endlessly repetitive dialog that was so tiresome. I NEED my SON bacK!! Yes yes yes, we heard you the first 2000 times! Put a sock in it!

Light is EM. If the failsafe was some kind of multi-spectrum deal, there ya go. Alternatively, the bubble which people are now supposing surrounds the island (climate control, cloaking device, etc) could have somehow lit up due to it like the Northern Lights.
